Handy Andy

Handy Andy

Found in South Africa, Handy Andy Actifizz from Unilever boasts therapeutic scents like Lavender Fresh — and a giggle-worthy name. Also known as Cif in Europe, this multipurpose cleaner can be used to wipe out anything from kitchen messes to bathroom soap scum. Good Housekeeping South Africa rated Handy Andy's all-purpose cream cleaner a top performer since it cleaned effectively while leaving no residue behind.

Mr. Muscle

Mr. Muscle

Claiming a streak-free shine, S.C. Johnson's Mr. Muscle Glass Cleaner is the international equivalent to their popular Windex cleaner. However, the U.S.'s Windex doesn't feature the bulked-up, superhero-esque character of Mr. Muscle. (Even the "U" in its name looks like a muscular bicep.) Mr. Muscle — also known as Mr. Musculo — is found in Europe, Africa, Asia, and Latin America.

Toilet Duck

Quack, Quack. Toilet Duck's Fresh Discs make it easy to keep a clean commode. Much like S.C. Johnson's Scrubbing Bubbles, placing a disc inside the toilet bowl can help your toilet stay fresh with every flush. Plus, the swan-like neck of its liquid cleaner bottles matched with its yellow cap mimics the appearance of its endearing mascot.

The Aussies down under can easily clean off unwanted marks with the Chux Magic Eraser. Straight from The Clorox Company, these foam erasers are claimed to rub out grime and other stains from surfaces from walls to doors and computer keyboards to coffee mugs.

Fairy

Fairy Dishwashing Soap promises sparkling clean dishes and soft hands — just like Procter & Gamble's Dawn Dish Soap. First sold in the United Kingdom, this soap comes in a variety of scents like Apple Orchard and Citrus Grove as well as a product that contains "a touch" of Olay. And we can't get over the adorable diaper-clad mascot!

Cillit Bang

Sold in the United Kingdom and Ireland, Cillit Bang from Reckitt Benckiser claims to work against tough cleaning challenges like limescale and soapscum in mere seconds, thanks to its "Turbo Power." And with a tagline like "Bang! And the dirt is gone!," this colorful line of products — marketed in the United States as Easy-Off — is sure to catch your eye.
